>Description:
I tried to compile the following (erronious) C++ file, and
g++ said it had an internal error and I should report it.
Here is the error message.
---------------------------
g++ template.cxx
template.cxx:10: Internal compiler error.
template.cxx:10: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@egcs.cygnus.com'.
template.cxx:10: See <URL:http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#bugreport> for details.

Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Feb  8 23:03:23
---------------------------

Here is the input file.
---------------------------
// Test templates.

#include <iostream>

template <class TYPE>
TYPE min(TYPE x, TYPE y) {
    return x < y ? x : y;
}

TYPE max(TYPE x, TYPE y) {
    return x < y ? y : x;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int a = 1;
    int b = 2;
    cout << "min == "<< min(a, b)<< endl;
    cout << "max == "<< max(a, b)<< endl;
}
-----------------------------

Have fun.
